These two decisions form a distinct victory for William Randolph Hearst andthe Attorney General and are solar plexusbio^s to Mayor McClellan.■ lor. 1 believe that there is now noIfcdellan by which, he can-• general from continuing the« - ■ auo warraato. Mr. Jackson is per■ ,to vrosocute tho proeeedown Information or on the Jnformat'.on of Mr. Hearst an 1 others. It Is said here• attorney General will pressthe c.ise with renewed energy and force a rea as possible.Willie Justice Pitta's decisions are a distinctvictory for Jackson and Hearst, yet, had theybeen the reverse of what they are, politicianssay that they would not have affected seriouslythe question of a recount of the ballots cast inthe last Mayoralty contest in New York City, asthis wcild have been forced by legislative enactment. In accordance with the Governor's ex»presf=ed views. Measures to carry out such legislation have already been introduced. Ac*rordir.g to the view mentioned above, the decisions merely hasten the recount.Hearst's adherents here are jubilant to-night.and freely predict that the present Mayor willhe out of office within the year. They say thatMr. McClellan cannot postpone the counting ofbaJlots much longer; that the case must come•- trial within sixty days, and the recount follow Immediately afterward, and that the recount will show that McClellan was not reelected Mayor of New York City.In ouashliicr the alternative writ of prohibition. Justice Fltts ruled that the process of thecourt could not be used to control the actions ofthe Attorney General in the exercise of his prorogatives?, and that the action of ex-Attorney<>r.era! Mayer in refusing to brine an action inquo warranto against Mayor McClellan was notbinding on bis successor In office. The Justicecontinues:The process of this court cannot be used tocontrol the actions of the Attorney General inthe exercise of his prerogatives.Assuming for the sake of argument, that therefusal of the former Attorney General, Mayer,to permit, on the relation of Hearst, the commencement of an action to test the title of theoffice of Mayor of the city of New York, was Judicial in Its character and precluded bis eucce?sor in office from entertaining a similar application and granting permission to Institutesuch an action, the same could be pleaded Inbar, by way of answer to such an action.The writ of prohibition is one of the statewrits authorized by the code of civil procedure which may Issue out of the Supreme Court,restraining- a judge or party from further pro'-•e>e4iiig In the action or special proceeding complained of. (Code of Civil Procedure. 2,001. 2,096.)The writ does not issue as a matter of right,but only in the Bound discretion of the court incases of supreme necessity where the grievancecannot be redressed by ordinary proceeding's atlaw or hi e*jnity or by appeal. -For these reasons the application for an absolute writ of prohibition must be denied, and thenrder allowing the writ of alternative prohibition vacated and writ quashed.Justice Pitts, In deciding on the question ofcontempt of court for the second action In quowarranto on his own information against MayorMcClellan, before the alternative writ of prohibition was quashed, declared that the AttorneyGeneral had power In the first place to bringsuch action, and that the alternative writ ofprohibition did not apply to an action brought"upon his own information." and therefore, "inbringing such action the Attorney General didnot violate the writ of prohibition and was not,therefore. in contempt of court."Th* decision Is:Pnwer and authority to institute this action Isconferred on the Attorney General by Section1,948 of the. Code of Civil Procedure:"Section 1.948. Attorney General may maintainaction."The Attorney General may maintain an actionupon his own information or upon the complaintof"a private person In either of tlie followingcases:— Against a person who usurps, intrudesinto, or unlawfully holds or exercises within ih<*fate a franchise or a public office, civil or military, or an office In a domestic corporation."In instituting this action against the relator,McClellan, the Attorney General violated noneof the provisions of the alternative writ of prohibition l. sued nut of this court on the fifth dayof January. I!m>7. The acts there prohibited badreference only to an action sought to be instituted upon the complaint filed by the respondentHearst.The Attorney General has commenced thisaction upon his own Information; that th.*statute permits him to do and his action withreference to the name cannot bo controlled byprocess of this court.In both cases decided on Mayor McClellanhears the coßts. Th^ decision says:Th« motion of the relator is therefore denied,w!th $10 costs.FAVROT INDICTMENT QUASHED.Baton Roue**. \m .
